Curriculum K-6th Grade
Because each student learns differently, our teachers provide personalized instruction that helps every learner thrive. All subject areas are taught through a biblically integrated, Christ-centered curriculum.
​
Technology is woven into daily learning through the use of iPads, Chromebooks, and Google for Education, helping students develop valuable digital skills. Our shared Science Lab brings learning to life through hands-on experiments and discovery. In a safe and supportive environment, students are encouraged to take risks, create, and innovate every day.
​
We use STAR Reading and STAR Math to identify students who may need extra academic support. During the school day, intervention is provided through both in-classroom (push-in) and small-group or individual (pull-out) support. Our instructional aide partners with teachers to provide targeted help for students below the 40th percentile benchmark through one-on-one and small group instruction.
